Ambulette Service in Northern New Jersey
An ambulette is the non-emergency medical vehicle New Jersey and New York families know: a wheelchair-accessible van or stretcher vehicle with a trained crew, for planned trips rather than emergencies. Kapra runs a 12-vehicle ambulette fleet from Riverdale, covering Passaic, Bergen, Sussex, Morris and Essex counties.
Dialysis, hospital discharge, doctor visits, nursing home and hospice transfers — booked by phone or online, confirmed within one business hour.

Which one do you need?
An ambulance is for emergencies and medical care en route: call 911. An ambulette is for planned, non-emergency trips when a patient cannot safely use a car or public transport — a wheelchair, a stretcher, oxygen, or simply a steady hand. Kapra is a non-emergency provider: every trip is scheduled, and every vehicle is staffed and equipped for the patient booked.
